energy-charts.info provides a great overview over electricity generation by sector, renewable share and a lot of other data on the German electricity network. They also provide estimates for the next few hours and scenarios how the electricity network could look like in a few decades.

This had me scratching my head for a minute, wondering why there was so much whitespace between the Load curve and the total energy generated. I can't imagine Germany having nightly rolling blackouts to accommodate a shortfall in generated energy. Then I realized several categories in the legend that are not shown on the chart.

I assume it's merely that they import energy from neighbours.

Here's a map of who exported electricity in Europe in 2022, and who imported: https://www.powerengineeringint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/EU-Interconnector-Map-H2-2022.jpg

There's no time domain or data source given in these. 0.2TWh could be tiny if it's annual, or huge if it's daily.
